Deploying UN Cumulative Language Packages Using the Web Client

Introduction

This 30-minute Oracle by Example (OBE) describes how to deploy UN cumulative language packages using the web client.

In this OBE, you will:

Download the Japanese UN9 language package (JPN_UN9) from the Oracle JD Edwards Update Center.
Import the package using the web client.
Deploy the package using the web client and verify the deployment reports.

Background

Starting with Tools Release 9.2.26.0, Update Manager supports the deployment of multi-platform deliverable (PAR) language package files using the Work With Software Updates application.

You can deploy these language packages using the web client:

Cumulative (UN) language packages
Language fix packages
Language update packages

This enhancement enables you to deploy language packages without any dependency on the Windows Deployment Server.

Applying language updates using the web client enables remote patch management and automation.

Prerequisites

Before deploying the UN cumulative update language packages, ensure that the UN9 cumulative update is deployed. All UN language packages are dependent on the corresponding UN cumulative update. In this scenario, the UN language package JPN_UN9 depends on UN9.

Task 1: Downloading UN Language Packages from the Update Center

To download the Japanese UN9 cumulative language packages which are in the multi-platform format:

Access the Oracle JD Edwards Update Center.
In the Search section, set the following criteria:
1. In the Type field, select Cumulative Updates.
2. In the Release field, select 9.2.
3. In the Platform field, select Multi-platform.
Enter the language name JPN* for Japanese in the Search for Name field to further limit the language package search and click Search.
Review the search results.

Search Results on the Oracle JD Edwards Update Center
Click to the left of the package name JPN_UN9 to add it to your downloads. The package is added to your Download Basket.
From the Download Basket, download the portable archive (.PAR) file JPN_UN9_28_70.par.

All UN9 Language packages are dependent on UN9. This OBE assumes that UN9 has already been downloaded and deployed.
